Annandale notes
Dryers in Annandale homes
One Annandale job shown below was a Maytag that squealed as the drum turned. The fix was new drum support rollers and an idler pulley. Rollers flatten and their bearings dry out, and the squeal usually starts quietly and gets worse each week.
Older dryers in Annandale ramblers often have short vents and long lives, and what they need are wear parts: rollers, belts, idler pulleys, drum glides and, on gas models, the igniter.
A gas dryer that's slow to start heating, or whose igniter glows without lighting, usually needs its gas valve coils.
Two other requests in the cards below came from Arlington: a Kenmore with no heat after the lint was cleared, and a Bosch with a drum part that broke off.
A gas smell near the dryer is a reason to leave the house and call Washington Gas or 911 from outside before doing anything else.

Frequently asked questions
Dryer Repair in Annandale, VA FAQ
Can someone come fix my dryer today in Annandale?
We're based in Alexandria, about 8 miles from Annandale. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many dryer repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
How much does it cost to fix a dryer in Annandale?
Heating elements, igniters, thermal fuses and rollers are the common, reasonably priced fixes. The quote comes after diagnosis and before repair - and if restricted airflow is what is really shortening your dryer's life, we say so instead of selling the next part. The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Labor starts at $200 and stays there on about 9 in 10 repairs; more complex jobs can reach $450. Parts are extra and listed in the quote. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
What dryer problems do you fix in Annandale?
Common calls include dryer not heating, long drying times, dryer squeaking, drum not turning, burning smell and airflow restriction. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
My dryer squeals when it runs. What's wrong?
Usually worn drum rollers or a dry idler pulley, sometimes the drum glides on the front bulkhead. They're wear parts and inexpensive. The Annandale Maytag job we list needed new rollers and an idler pulley.
Should I replace the belt when replacing rollers?
If the belt is cracked, glazed or stretched, it makes sense to do it at the same visit, since the dryer is already open. Many roller kits include a belt and an idler.
Should I try to fix the dryer myself first?
Start with the safe basics: empty the lint screen, confirm the breaker has not tripped, and check that the outside vent flap opens freely. Leave heating elements, thermostats and gas components to a technician - and if you ever smell burning, stop using the dryer until it is inspected.
